Creative Workflow with Eleven Music
Artists used Eleven Music in different ways, including generating compositions and experimenting with genres. The model served as a creative spark and allowed exploration of unfamiliar sounds. Each track blends the artist’s style with new creative possibilities unlocked by AI.
Liza Minnelli stated:
I’ve always believed that music is about connection and emotional truth. What interested me here was the idea of using my voice and new tools in service of expression, not instead of it... This project respects the artist’s voice, the artist’s choices, and the artist’s ownership... ElevenLabs makes it possible for anyone to be a creator and owner. That matters.
Art Garfunkel noted:
Music has always evolved alongside technology, from microphones to multitrack recording. What impressed me about this experience was the respect for musicianship. The human remains at the center. My voice plus the technology simply opens another door.
KondZilla said:
It was incredibly special to explore ElevenLabs’ new music phase. I experimented with Brazilian funk elements and translated our aesthetics into an English trap/R&B track. The quality genuinely impressed me. As the technology evolves, I’m excited to create a full Brazilian funk track with our identity.

The model supports a variety of languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, and Japanese.
Licensing and Ethical AI
ElevenLabs emphasizes responsible AI development in music, including partnerships with Kobalt Music and Merlin, which enable artists and songwriters to participate in shaping AI music models and revenue streams. The company also offers an Iconic Marketplace where talent can license their voice, style, or musical identity.
Sophia Noel from ElevenLabs stated that their music model is "fully trained on licensed music, so that means that we didn’t steal or take any music in order to create this system." Each AI-cloned voice includes a “sonic fingerprint,” a unique sound frequency that works like a digital watermark.
Industry Response and Concerns
The release comes amid debate over AI tools trained on copyrighted work without permission. ElevenLabs is actively courting talent and striking licensing deals to avoid backlash.
Several artists and organizations have taken action regarding AI misuse:
- Matthew McConaughey trademarked himself to protect against unauthorized AI use.
- Scarlett Johansson criticized OpenAI for a voice similar to hers.
- Drake removed a diss track after Tupac Shakur’s estate threatened to sue.
- SAG-AFTRA signed a deal with Replica Studios to license digitally replicated voices.
